Vuletich’s Header Lifts Comunicaciones Past Antigua GFC 2-0 — Xelajú Mc - Marquense
Agustín Vuletich struck in the 3rd minute and Comunicaciones beat Antigua GFC 2-0 in xelajú mc - marquense’s shadow, turning a one-goal deficit into a 4-3 aggregate win and a place in the Clausura 2026 semifinals. The result ended Antigua’s quarterfinal run and sent Comunicaciones through after a season that began with a last-place finish in the Apertura 2025.
Vuletich Sets the Pace
Vuletich finished with a header at Estadio Cementos Progreso before the match settled into Comunicaciones’ control. Dairon Reyes added the second goal in the 62nd minute, and that was enough to flip the tie after Antigua had taken the first leg 3-2 at Estadio Pensativo.
Comunicaciones could absorb pressure because the table gave it a narrow edge before kickoff. It finished fourth in the Clausura 2026 with 35 points, one ahead of Antigua GFC’s 34, so a draw would have sent it through on the table line. Instead, Marco Antonio Figueroa’s side took the cleaner route and won the leg outright.
Antigua GFC’s Response Fades
Antigua GFC needed two goals after falling behind 2-0, but the comeback never found a foothold. Alexander Robinson’s error opened the door for Reyes, and Luis Morán was beaten on the finish that made the deficit too steep for the bicampeón to recover.
The loss sends Antigua out in the quarterfinals despite arriving as the tournament’s current bicampeón, and it leaves Comunicaciones with a semifinal place after a campaign that started from the bottom of the Apertura 2025. The next opponent will come from the Sunday return legs involving Xelajú MC vs Marquense and Municipal vs Guastatoya, but for now the sharper story is simpler: Comunicaciones erased the first-leg damage and kept its Clausura run alive.
